Yes Fri and Sat look pretty good but Sat looks more favourable and likely more folks. So will be at the field Sat morning 9:30ish.

The forecast for both Friday and Saturday looks pretty good. My current plan is to be on the field by 8 AM Friday morning, after breakfast at north Caledonia Tim's. Yum Yum.

Postscript: Here's a later look at the forecast ... Saturday looks good too.

The original NOTAM which we have been operating under, has expired. The NOTAM which now replaces it is unchanged, except for the NOTAM number which is now 160355 instead of the former 160160 .
The air traffic controller who answers your call may or may not be aware of this numbering change yet, so be prepared to explain.

You can view the new NOTAM by going to https://flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/Fore-obs/notam.cgi
(Enter CYHM for Aerodrome ID, and checkmark the boxes "Aerodrome NOTAM File" and "Local NOTAM only").

I've updated the field log-book with a copy of the new NOTAM, and I've added some explanatory comments in the log-entry section.

The Superforecast looks pretty good for Thursday. I hope to get to the field around 8 AM.
Thank you Mike Sherlaw for getting our NOTAM's existence extended for an additional 3 months. That NOTAM's availability to us would otherwise have expired on August 16. Note that we must continue to activate the NOTAM for each flying session, by phoning ATM (Same as we have been doing it up to now).

Postscript: As soon as the fog cleared today, I made two flights. Then I went home before I melted from the heat.

Forecast looks pretty good for the early morning. I plan to arrive about 8 AM and fly electric glider for a couple of hours.
